White House press secretary Robert Gibbs expressed tepid approval on Thursday for Sen. Mark Udall’s idea that the parties sit together, not separate, during President Obama’s State of the Union address on Jan. 25.
“I haven't had an opportunity to talk to some folks around here on that. It's an interesting idea,” Gibbs told reporters on Thursday. “Maybe not having a physical aisle separate us would be a good thing as we talk about the state of our union, and that's everybody. That's not one side or the other. That's everyone.”

Stupid idea. Maybe they should all stand up during the speech, which would then cause alot of shuffling and chatting,which would be a distraction to everyone in the room, which would drive Zero crazy.
When they were in a minority in a gathering, they would sit in a diamond pattern, then anytime a communist leader would speak, they would all jump to their feet, wildly applauding, and creating the *illusion* that what Obama is saying is far more popular, from whatever angle observers would look at the assembled audience.
I wouldn’t want to sit next to a democrat either.
Their insanity might be contagious.
After The One’s comments about the Supreme Court last year, are any of the Supremes likely to attend, other than the wise Latina and the affable Dyke?
Not only that, but when the Dims bounce to their feet every other sentence, they want it to appear the standing 'O' is happening on both sides of the aisle.
Hold hands and sing Kumbya?
NO!
There is a reason there are multiple parties instead of everyone just belonging to the democrats, progressives, communists or whatever label/ no label they use today.
Now that the Reps have a clear majority in the House and have narrowed the advantage in the Senate, it is better for the Dems to have everyone sitting together to mask the true size of the Rep majority presence. And it could inhibit the Reps from showing their displeasure. The Reps would be fools to accept this.

The Delphi technique and the diamond pattern of audience manipulation to create the illusion of agreement.
Or would that be uncivil?
It's all about maintaining the image that the Democrats are still ruling the House.

Ha!
Now that he’s out numbered he likes it!
watta buffoon!
Constitutionally, he has to report on the state of the union to Congress "from time to time."
He doesn't have to give a presentation. He can just send them a report.

That would require a constitutional ammendment as it requires the POTUS to give a yearly SOTU. But it’s only the Constitution what do I know.
Well, yeah, becasue HIS SIDE is getting its @ss kicked.
Let the Democrats change the seating when they are in the majority. If it was good enough for Nancy’s coven to bask in their big bloc of seats the past four years, there is no reason for the GOP to help them disguise their shrinkage this year.
These freshmen Congress persons just got elected!!!
Have they already done something wrong for them to be punished??

Bingo! Tell them to shove it.
